De spannende nieuwe thriller LET HIM GO met o.a. Kevin Costner, Diane Lane en Lesley Manville draait vanaf 3 december a.s. in de bioscoop. De film is momenteel 79% certified fresh op RottenTomatoes.
LET HIM GO is gebaseerd op het gelijknamige boek van Larry Watson en geregisseerd door Thomas Bezucha.
Na het overlijden van hun zoon, verlaten de gepensioneerde sheriff George Blackledge (Kevin Costner) en zijn vrouw Margaret (Diane Lane) hun ranch in Montana en reizen ze naar North Dakota om hun kleinzoon te redden. Hij is in handen gekomen van de gevaarlijke familie van de nieuwe man van hun schoondochter, met aan het hoofd Blanche Weboy (Lesley Manville). Ze komen er al snel achter dat de familie Weboy de jongen niet zomaar laat gaan.
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER INTERVIEW Lesley Manville: “I was overwhelmed to be asked to come to the States […] play an American woman in an American film. I do enjoy playing a bad girl. There’s something I can’t quite put my finger on, that makes it terribly nice, really enjoyable.”
DIANE LANE OVER DE SAMENWERKING MET KEVIN COSTNER
Diane Lane: “Kevin knows a good screenplay when he finds one. I would be thrilled to be working with him again.”
New York Times: “With uncommon stealth, “Let Him Go” morphs from a drama about loss and grief into a terrifying thriller. Lesley Manville, as a monstrous matriarch, turns up the heat. Jeffrey Donovan as one of her menacing sons is also outstanding. But the movie never loses sight of its character dynamics, beautifully acted by Costner and Lane. And it shows how this couple, whose back story is revealed only in judiciously placed flashbacks, sticks to its own wedding vows.”
Los Angeles Times: “In many ways, it feels like the midcentury pulp thrillers it emulates: well-plotted and grisly, but almost ephemeral. It is Lane’s performance that lingers, one that dares to be uniquely hopeful about the future, and letting the old ways die.”
“Stewart was honing his horsemanship he used for the movie Let Him Go for years, growing up on horseback when he wasn’t in the studio. “I definitely showed the most horsemanship in this film than I have before,” says Stewart. “But I feel like I have so much more to show. I’d love to have the opportunity to ride throughout an entire film and do a military or Western film.””
“Costner is amazing,” says Stewart. “He’s so kind, extremely generous and listens to everyone. He’s someone I really admire.”
